VOLUSIA D-4 The Orlando Sentinel, Saturday, July 30, 1994 vo Maglev official vows to press on if iff iJIj(W(ftii((lt''ti 'Jlsi'fflpfiwf-. even after the company missed a deadline a year ago to prove it could raise the money needed. Maggy's situation leaves in question the fate of the $97.5 million federal grant believed to be the largest single transportation grant ever for Central Florida. The state has about half the money, which was spread out over six years. The money has not been spent, and competition to divvy it up will be intense.

Congressional leaders from other states already were eyeing the money. Even if it stays in Florida, there will be competition among other transportation projects. Watts said he had not decided how to recommend using the money, but any use other than for the Orlando maglev project would require congressional approval. Most transportation officials expect the state to try to keep the money for a proposed Tampa-Orlando-Miami high-speed train. ject would give Florida and the country a chance to test this new technology," Watts said.

"Regrettably, we had no choice but to recom-'mend terminating the project" Maglev Transit President Sam Tabuchi said the company has spent $30 million on the project, including $500,000 paid to the state before Gov. Lawton Chiles gave the project the go-ahead in 1991. Tabuchi said he could not comment on Watt's decision, except to say the company would appeal to a state hearing officer, who would hear the case in November. A final decision will be made by the governor and the Cabinet "We are still going to go ahead, no matter what DOT the Department of Transportation might say," Tabuchi said. "I'm not going to change my position, even if people tell me to go away." Watts said he gave Maglev Transit "every opportunity to succeed," MAGLEV from D-1 tional Drive tourist area But backers have been unable to raise the needed money, even after Congress kicked in $97.5 million three years ago.

Last year the company had to drop plans for a 250-mph German-built train that has been operating on test tracks for several years after negotiations with the manufacturer fell through. Since then, Maglev Transit has planned to use a 130-mph Japanese version still being developed. In March, Thyssen-Henschel America, which owns the German maglev technology, asked the state for permission to build the Orange County line if Maglev Transit failed. Watts on Friday also recommended against that, saying he doesn't have the authority to transfer permission from one company to another.

Initially, the design will' be tested in a laboratory, then on the two-mile track. Project researchers also will be teaching classes at local universities.
